Client Crash

Ok, I crash about every 2 hours or so. Most commonly when in large WvW events.

Each crash is a out of memory crash. I am running Win7 32-bit. Memory usage of the app is not near my max mem (about half really). Any ideas on a quick fix/easy fix?

Hi EnochDagor,

I’d like to know what graphics settings you’re playing the client on. If you are playing with some of the higher graphics settings, this could be contributing to the “Out of Memory” crashes that you’re experiencing.

EnochDagor – I was referring to your in game graphics settings, not your graphics card. Additionally I am not a Developer and so while the client is still being updated, optimized, and worked on, I can see what else might be going on to get the game playable for you if possible as there is no ETA for a fix for the “Out of Memory” crashes at this time.

And so, I would start with having your graphics settings at the lowest possible settings and seeing if you still get these crashes. If not, I would then gradually increase the settings until you reach a point where the game is both playable and of the best appearance that you can achieve.

Lastly, as other players have suggested, upgrading to a 64-bit operating system and increasing your system memory should resolve this issue for you.
